NOTICE
If the safety belt extender is left attached to the safety belt buckle, the safety belt warning
system will sense that the safety belt for that seat is being used. The warning light will not
come on and the warning chime will not sound even though the seat is occupied and the safety
belt is not being used.
Safety belt retractor, pretensioner, load limiter
¤ Please first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS on
page 123.
The safety belts in the vehicle are part of the vehicle's safety concept and consist of the following
important features:
Automatic safety belt retractors
Every safety belt is equipped with an automatic belt retractor on the shoulder belt. As long as the
safety belt is pulled out slowly, the shoulder belt will extend to let you move freely under normal driving
conditions. The automatic safety belt retractor locks the belt when the belt is pulled out fast, during
hard braking and in a collision. The belt may also lock when you drive up or down a steep hill or
through a sharp curve.
Safety belt pretensioner
The safety belt retractors for the driver and front seat passenger have a pretensioner that helps take
the slack out of the safety belt and tighten it when the pretensioner is activated.
The pretensioners are activated by the electronic control unit for the airbag system in front, side, and
rear collisions. By tightening the safety belt, the pretensioner helps to reduce the occupant's forward
movement. The belt pretensioner works together with the airbag system; its function is monitored by
the airbag system indicator light. The belt pretensioner will not deploy in a rollover if the side airbags
are not activated.
A fine dust may be released upon activation. This is normal and is not caused by a fire in the vehicle.
Safety belt load limiter
The front safety belts also have load limiters to help reduce the forces applied to the body in a crash.
Heed all safety regulations if the vehicle or individual components of the system have to be
scrapped. Your authorized Volkswagen dealer and authorized Volkswagen Service Facility are familiar
with these regulations.
Service and disposal of belt pretensioners
¤ Please first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS .
The pretensioners are part of the safety belts installed at the front seats in your vehicle. Installing,
removing, servicing, or repairing of safety belt pretensioners can damage the safety belt system and
prevent it from working correctly in a collision. The pretensioners themselves may then also not work
in the event of an accident, or not work properly.
There are some important things you have to know to make sure that the effectiveness of the system
will not be impaired and that discarded components do not cause injury or pollute the environment.
Undeployed safety belt pretensioners and airbag modules contain explosive materials that can cause
serious injuries to the general public and to people who work at dealerships and workshops, scrap
